        "content": "<p>KOMPAS.com - The Rinjani-Lombok Geopark in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB)\nhas successfully retained its status as a UNESCO Global Geopark after\nreceiving its second Green Card. The international revalidation process\ntook place at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France, with the official\nannouncement on Tuesday (28\/4\/2026). \u201cThis second green card is a global\nrecognition of the collective hard work of all stakeholders in West Nusa\nTenggara,\u201d said Qwadru, as quoted from Antara on Tuesday (28\/4\/2026).\nQwadru stated that this success proves that the governance of the\nRinjani-Lombok Geopark continues to meet global standards. The main\nfocus includes aspects of conservation and education, along with\neconomic empowerment for local communities. The revalidation process was\nconducted thoroughly by professional assessors. The assessor team not\nonly viewed the natural beauty of Rinjani but also evaluated the\ntangible impacts on the surrounding residents. The welfare of\ncommunities in the Mount Rinjani ring area is a key point. All elements\nmust provide benefits that can be directly felt by the residents.\nDisaster mitigation aspects are crucial because Lombok is located in an\narea prone to tectonic earthquakes. Therefore, geological knowledge is\nessential for the safety of tourists and local residents. Meanwhile, the\nIndonesian Ambassador to France, Mohamad Oemar, emphasised the important\nposition of the Rinjani-Lombok Geopark. For him, Rinjani is not just a\nplace for tourism but also a vital natural laboratory for science.<\/p>",
